Mask of Zorro, The (1998)

Don Diego de la Vega: You have passion, Alejandro, and your skill is growing. But to enter Montero's world, I must give you something which is completely beyond yor reach. Alejandro Murrieta: Ah, yes? And what is that? Don Diego de la Vega: Charm.

[Fighting with Zorro.] Captain Harrison Love: You're doing well. Your brother would have shot himself by now!

Alejandro Murrieta: I miss my brother, sir. Don Diego de la Vega: Your brother is dead! We lose the ones we love; we cannot change it. Put it aside. Alejandro Murrieta: How? How can I do what is needed, when all I feel is... hate. Don Diego de la Vega: You hide it. [Holds up black mask.] With this.

Alejandro Murrieta: Do you surrender? Elena: Never, but I may scream. Alejandro Murrieta: I understand. Sometimes I have that effect.

Alejandro: I've never lost a fight! Don Diego de la Vega: Except to a crippled old man just now.

[In a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest.] Elena: Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession. Alejandro Murrieta: Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please!

[In a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest.] Elena: I have broken the fourth commandment, padre. Alejandro Murrieta: You killed somebody? Elena: No, that is not the fourth commandment! Alejandro Murrieta: [pause] Of course not!

[In a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest.] Elena: I dishonored my father. Alejandro Murrieta: That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.

[About Zorro.] Alejandro Murrieta: He probably wears the mask to hide his bald head and unsightly features.

Don Diego de la Vega: There is a saying, a very old saying: when the pupil is ready the master will appear.

Captain Harrison Love: The lady and I were trying to dance. Alejandro Murrieta: You were trying. She was succeeding.

Don Rafael Montero: Do you recognize him? Elena: No, but he was young and vigorous. He was very vigorous, father.

Don Diego de la Vega: Do you know how to use that thing? Alejandro Murrieta: Yes! The pointy end goes into the other man.

Alejandro Murrieta: Is something funny? Captain Harrison Love: Strange, actually. This is the second time I've shot this man while he was flying through the air.

Don Diego de la Vega: That man is trained to fight. You on the other hand, seem trained to drink.

Elena: Yes, were you looking for something? Alejandro: A sense of the miraculous in everyday life.
